While in the first film English become the country’s sole spy after an attack on the MI5, the second took him on a mission to China in Johnny English: Reborn. In the third film to be released in 2018, it seems English finds himself tackling the efforts of a criminal hacker, who attempts to reveal the identities of British spies. And it looks hilarious!

The film also introduces its new leading lady, actress Olga Kurylenko, who plays agent Ophelia.
